After seeing its national championship dreams get canceled by COVID-19 in 2020, Kansas was able to get to Monday night for the first time in 10 years -- the last time the Final Four was in New Orleans -- and finish the job with its fourth national championship. Next year the Final Four is in Houston, but the Jayhawks could get there again. Ochai Agbaji, David McCormack, Christian Braun, Mitch Lightfoot and Remy Martin are all likely to be gone, but there will be some continuity with Dajuan Harris Jr. and Jalen Wilson expected back. Bill Self is also bringing in a stellar recruiting class, highlighted by elite scorer Gradey Dick and powerful offensive player MJ Rice. A third top-25 recruit, Ernest Udeh, will help replace the frontcourt talent -- but returnees K.J. Adams and Zach Clemence will help, too.
Projected starting lineup:
Dajuan Harris Jr. (5.4 PPG)
Gradey Dick (No. 8 in ESPN 100)
MJ Rice (No. 19 in ESPN 100)
Jalen Wilson (11.0 PPG)
Ernest Udeh (No. 23 in ESPN 100)
People are sleeping on Zuby Eijofor. With a year of weight training and being coached by this staff, he may end up being the most promising NBA prospect.

As it would have it, I picked KU in my bracket pool to win the tournament (I generally do unless it is a team like 2021). Came 2nd, though, which doesn't do me much good in a winner-take-all format. [Reply]
Mizzou fans are in massive shambles mode judging by a few of their posts here last night about Adidas. Can't imagine UK fans are in a much better state.
It must be a rough life not being champions. [Reply]
Anyone know where I can watch the ENTIRE game again? YouTubeTV didn't automatically record it (usually does if KANSAS is involved) but I guess not the tournament games. I was busy watching it at the bar so didn't worry about it. [Reply]
